What is Rifts®?
Rifts® for Savage Worlds brings the enduring and popular world of Palladium Books' Rifts® to the award-winning Savage Worlds system by Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
The gates of the Megaverse® bring infinite challenge and adventure to a war-torn world struggling to build its future. All that was, destroyed in atomic fire and arcane Armageddon, brought about a world full of magic and monsters, cybernetic post-humanism, and infinite potential for greatness...and disaster. The Heroes of the Tomorrow Legion are called to defend that future.
This is the terrifying and wonderful world of Rifts®, originally released in 1990, combined with the Fast! Furious! and Fun! game play of Savage Worlds. All the over-the-top action, super-powered heroes, and an exceptionally deep canon of content and story are here for fans of both!

What is Savage Worlds?
Rifts® for Savage Worlds uses the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition and requires the core rules to play. For the uninitiated, players roll trait dice from d4 to d12, plus a Wild Die (a d6), and take whichever result is better hoping to hit a Target Number (usually 4). Beating the Target Number by 4 or more is called a raise, and grants extra benefits. Dice that roll the maximum number "Ace" and roll again to add, so any roll can succeed if you're lucky enough. Players get a little extra control in the form of "Bennies", chips they can spend to try a roll again or mitigate damage. The result is Fast, Furious, and Fun! It handles everything from super heroes to spaceships to Gothic horror and countless other settings!

The time has finally come! We're reprinting the original three Rifts® for Savage Worlds books which started it all, so now's your opportunity to jump into or extend your adventures in the world of Rifts®!
Stock is running low so we need to reprint these books anyway, but we wanted to give you a chance to get first crack at them and the opportunity to add on other Rifts® for Savage Worlds products you may have missed and bundle them for cheaper shipping.
These are not new books, they're a new printing of the original three books: The Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide, Game Master's Handbook, and Savage Foes of North America. We are also printing additional copies of the Rifts® for Savage Worlds Core Boxed Set, which contains those books and a ton of other goodies to bring your game to life.

If you're already a Rifts® for Savage Worlds enthusiast:
You might be wondering if anything is different in the new printings of the book. The short answer is: yes!
We continue collecting community feedback long after a book releases, and a reprint marks an opportunity to fix errors and make tweaks that you the fans ask for. Each of the three core books has updates and clarifications.
See the FAQ for an exacting list of everything that changed. You don't need the new printing if you've already got the old one—all the updates appear for free on the PEGinc.com website—but if you want the latest and greatest in print this is a good way to get it.
As publishing costs rise some price increases are inevitable. At retail the Tomorrow Legion Player's Guide increases to $34.99, but for this campaign we're offering it at a special price of only $25, like the other reprinted books. If you need a replacement copy or want a spare, now is the best time to get it!
There are no digital-only Pledge Levels for this campaign. Anyone who pledges receives the equivalent PDF(s) for no additional charge.
If you want a PDF of any of these products you can buy them rightnow on PEGinc.com.
The current Revised PDFs will be automatically updated to the Revised 2nd Printing closer to delivery to match the new books. You just need to look for the notification and download the file again to get the new version!
This campaign is about printing new books, so the rewards are physical, and physical items need to be shipped. The funds for shipping pledges are collected separately close to the time they are shipped. These books are already written and ready to print, but we still expect it to take between six and eight months before they arrive in the warehouse ready to ship out to backers.
When that time comes, you'll receive a notification for the shipping cost—based on the best rates we can negotiate at the time. We know international shipping is an expensive part of buying games, and we're constantly looking for ways to reduce those costs. We work with freight forwarders and regional warehouses to get the best deal possible.
Anyone who has backed any of our active Rifts® for Savage Worlds Kickstarter campaigns (yes, even the ones on that other crowdfunding platform!) get a special thank you for participating in this campaign: each order receives one copy of the revised printing of the poster map of North America.
Normally you can only get this map in the Adventure Boxed Set. The map has been updated to be double sided: a player facing side with basic information and Game Master side with labels and map key to keep track of the dangers your Legionaries are unwittingly walking into.
We're doing second printings of these books no matter the outcome of this campaign, and have the funds to do so. This campaign is just to offer an opportunity to grab these books right as they enter distribution, and to help spread awareness (we're a very small company so marketing is always difficult—please help spread the word!).
Pinnacle Entertainment Group has launched and delivered countless crowdfunding projects. For some examples, here are just the Rifts for Savage Worlds campaigns (if you want even more information about the products being reprinted or offered here as Add-ons):
